In reply to anon. I'd take this part of the world over the USA any day. At least nobody is deliberately killing children here and the people are nice.

In reply to Lulu Dunthorne. Hi Lulu, I'd say it was safer in terms of potential crime, more dangerous in terms of bus crashes, Dengue fever etc. But that's just gut feeling not statistics on crime or safety. Our plans? Well this year probably Jordan, Egypt, Nepal or Thailand for 6 months...nothing certain yet, we're just chilling at home base in Romania and working on school and the websites for a few more weeks.

I enjoyed reading this post. Is it as safe as Thailand would you say ? What are your plans now ?

We travelled as a duo through bang vieng in 1999, I know it is so different now! But this post has inspired us to bring our kids 3, 6 and 8 to while away some time in vang vieng after a wedding in Vientiane.

We are most grateful to you for taking the time to write this post! We will be checking out the others,

Thanks!
